Making a Skeletonized Hammer - COPPER or BRASS hammer? HAMMER TIME!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2022
- I wanted to create a unique machinists hammer with removable soft blow faces. I designed the hammer handle with a skeletonized look. I cast the body of the hammer out of A365 aluminum and the faces are copper and brass. This was a fun project that I hope you all enjoy watching!

I love the way this hammer turned out! What do you think? Have a great weekend everyone! Thank you for watching!

Good day. I would suggest that you have the male tread studs on the hammer body.
Thought it was amazing! Question, will the aluminum metal of the body react with the different metals of the heads?
Can you please make a handle out of leather or some other material to use the open sections to tie stuff to. Perhaps put some padding-style material in the groove handle and wrap it cross-style using the holes near the bottom. Another thing is that the top having those random shapes to make the X is kind of cool, but it would be REALLY cool if instead of that it was your LOGO and the middle line goes all the way down the handle inside the groove. Love your videos!
Awesome hammer one quick tip for the interchangeable faces just drill and tap a 1/4-20 hole for a set screw so you never have to worry about the ends being loose. But I definitely wish I could buy that hammer very slick idea.
I really liked the idea of this hammer having the head screwed on. In theory you can create other heads for this hammer and change them as needed. It can transform into a rubber-headed hammer (used in woodworking), tipped steel head, or even a small ax or wheel wrench.
exactly
Hammers like this one have been being made both mass produced and custom made for a long time. You are right, you change the heads out for whatever you need. Most commonly brass and Delrin or PLA heads are used on them.
I used to have hammers like that there great, but this one is way better and prettier.
@@darrellbeets7758 And WAY! OVERPRICED !! TOO !!
@@davidwillard7334 huh? Were are u talking about lol?
I've made essentially exactly this before, just less cool looking and the one warning I have for this kind of thing is that even though the screw-on faces are soft, with enough use they will completely deform the actual hammer head.
This was bad enough on mine that the whole thing had to be scrapped so for v2 I put a thin (2mm ish) replaceable plastic washer behind each head to soak up the impacts and it seems to work well.
DEFORMITY ! IS ! SOMETHING! YOU !! HAVE ! TO ! LIVE !! WITH !!
@@davidwillard7334 yes, but good design limits it to the parts that are designed to deform.
@@JedLath292 thus be smart with how ya make ya own tools :P a smith is only as good as his worst tools in the long run.
I was going to suggest exactly the same thing, a plastic or rubber gasket between the "heads" and "body" of the hammer will greatly improve durability over long term use.
@@davidwillard7334 Something tells me this phrase is plastered on the wall of every...whatever the college class for smithing/version of Tech Ed is classroom.
Looks great! Just make sure it never gets wet. Aluminium and copper in contact have a high electrochemical potential.
I didn't know that.
Cool
Or just add antiseize or some high quality grease. Not perfect but it might help
I just learnrd about this phenomenon that the more precious metal erodes the lesser one
@@bigpat_4295 there can be only one
Only if it remains wet. Once the electrolyte dries up the electrolysis stops. Also plain water is not likely to be much of a problem as it has a low S/m.
Make sure to anti seize the brass side or it will never come off, it and aluminum have a high galvanic potential. Beautiful project, really liking the chanel so far
That's great advice!
Copper and aluminimum can also have a galvanic potential too, we run into this a lot in watercooling too, lots of cheap parts are aluminimum so you can only use them with alu blocks and rads etc
Easily one of your most impressive results yet on this channel. You've come a long way from where you started- there's a lot of honed skill on display here! Incredibly clean!

@@jakub8860 what is bro on about
Ohh, those wheelium muffins at 4:02, can’t wait for them to finish baking.
A rubber buffer layer in between alluminium handle and both the hammer heads would help the handle deform less and changing the heads easier.
That hammer turned out beautiful. I noticed some techniques with packing sand that I hadn't seen anyone else use since I was in metal shop. Made things turn out so much better for you. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Really brilliant work! 👍👍👍

That a _lot_ of begatting.
Honestly, so cool the stuff you make. You should try making one of the detachable heads of the hammer out of non-metal. Just to see what happens.
Not an absurd idea at all. We have some hammers in our shop with a soft acrylic head for detailing work.
It would work perfectly fine so long as the threads were solid.
I remember decades ago, about 5, in metal shop in high school.
We did sand casting, sheet metal work and machine work on a lathe.
I made a small 2 faced hammer out of steel, brass and aluminum.
The head was about 1/2" diameter, was 2/3 steel & 1/3 brass. The handle was aluminum about 1/2" in diameter tapered to 1/4" tapped to fit into the head.
Something that needs to be taken into account is that pure aluminum shrinks as it cools down.
If you don't plan on getting a bigger lathe, get a used (second hand) cast iron surface plate that can accommodate the lathe's feet. A lot of the issues small lathes have stem from vibration management.
Could you also mount the feet on some dense rubber that would dampen vibes, and then mount the rubber to something solid e.g. concrete floor?
@@RC-fp1tl not sure, but I don’t think so. You want it to be as massive and solid as possible... so no rubber
For me this is one of the cleanest and most professional objects you've done to date. Nice project.
The hammer looks great! I can't imagine that it has much weight behind it. More of a precision light-duty type of tool than a nail driver, but I can bet it would be great for a jewelry maker or someone who builds models.
It was never intended to drive nails LOL!
Brass and copper hammers are used for working with metal, for doing things like seating a work piece in the video of a milling machine, or assembling a tool or machine, striking punches or stamps. Neither the copper nor the brass will mar steel.
As a metalwork teacher in high school in Australia Sydney for 25 years let me congratulate you on your presentation I used to have students melt aluminium and cast parts of a steam tractor at Sefton High School what you showed was very comprehensive and a joy to watch thank you getting the 115 anymore
Looks really nice I'd recommend adding a small slit from the threads to the side not a something deep just a tiny 20tho deep slit to release an air trap in 2-5 years when you swap the ends out otherwise in a few years once oil and grime builds up it will trap a vacuum and feel like it was epoxy together.
Another option is coat the flats in blue loctie this will seal out dirt and make it even more solid when you want to swap the end just heat it up to around 350deg for a min or two and it will spin right off
Your so patient, it’s world class.
Love the quality of your projects. Really inspiring for my own casting projects when I make it that far. Just melting metal at the moment.
Very beautiful build. It's so satisfying seeing people take the time to perfect the small details. So many channels cast, quickly sand it, and call it done to pump out a video. It's refreshing to see someone take their time.
Really like the build felt like watching a clickspring video.
Thank you very much!
the way those heads fit on the hammer was *chefs kiss*
I can see you're only getting better and better with your mold making and casting skills
Awesome video! It’s really cool seeing you get more into machining while still using the furnace and bringing them both together in the same project
Beautiful work - as always. I love the melding of new technology via the digital renderings and 3D printing with the ancient art of sand casting. Your machines and machine work have added a new dimension that takes your videos to another level. And when I watch them, ten minutes seems oddly short because I look forward to every moment. Keep up the good work!
That inner cavity makes me think you could print a dead-blow cartridge to get even more use out of it.
I love the fact that you're melting your metals in an old keg ^^
That's a nice hammer. Darn it, now I may have to make one for myself! ;-) You might consider making one side out of lead. Being so soft, it acts almost like a dead blow hammer when setting things in the mill vise or lathe. Nice work.
A verified comment that didn’t blow up? I must be dreaming
This turned out beautifully. Love the shiny hammer heads and how they fit perfectly snuck onto the handle
Big slegdehammer then smaller more refined hammer, perfect set up for a series of you casting and then machining more of your own tools.
That is some wheelie cool wheelium.
I worry that if one of those faces comes unscrewed just a tiny bit that the hammer blows will ruin your threads. I honestly dont see the handle outlasting the heads by a significant amount of time. Re-machining the heads just a tiny bit when they are damaged could make those heads last for years. But a cast aluminum handle with skeletal cutouts... idk. Looks super cool either way, definitely something any craftsman would love to own
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
@@FreightmareFTW I've been talking to Jesus through the first page of p**nhub for the last 20 years, can confirm he into BBC
A common first semester project for anyone who's taken an introductory machine tool class is a soft face hammer with screw on faces. Mine has an aluminum face on one side and brass on the other. The faces on mine have never come loose, and I've been using it for 20 years now. But hey, when in doubt, use some loctite. :)
This video made me so sad that I’m in college and have no ability to create. It also brought me back to the Grant Thompson days RIP
Fantastic hammer. Having interchangeable heads is a game changer for longevity and not breaking things
I love your aluminum castings the best, because of the lower temperature, you can actually see the pouring cleanly instead of the white hot glow of other metals.
I love your videos. They're so relaxing and satisfying to watch!
This man said the word Wheelium. I then immediately subbed.
Now I want a jewelers hammer with changeable heads!
Great project! You always make it look so easy.
@make build modify will you ever make Vids again?
@@zohranbloedjes9770 yes. I'm currently building homes and doing residential construction full-time. Not much time for shooting and editing videos.
My plans are to create more as soon as possible.
you are like the Clickspring of metal casting

Perfect hammer for rebuilding gear boxes!
You may be new to machining but you did a fantastic job on that hammer. It must feel so good looking at something like that and know that it came from an idea in your head and it just came to life. Awesome job!
I have a brother that has loved hammers since he was a kid. In most of his childhood pictures he has a hammer in his hand. I may have to make a hammer like this for him.
Stunning build!!! Your videos get better and better. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Cheers!!
Beautiful work. You’re an artist and a heck of a good craftsman.
This came out fantastic! Love the design of the skeleton handle, very clean looking
That sir is a work of art.
Fantastic project! I wish I had the equipment and 3D programming knowledge you have. Clearly a labor of love. Look forward to your future project.
That's a very functional and aesthetically pleasing tool.

Easily the best hammer of any type Ive seen made on UA-cam. 10/10 on every step of the process.
This was a joy to watch. Well done!
To be new at machining, you sure did an extremely excellent job!
I would totally buy this!!!
When a machinist and engineer come together in harmony, beautiful things happen. :) 7:18
my mind is blown away with this concept, you could use the hammer as a sledge or even a rubber mallet if you made the attachments for it. excellent work!!!!
That is a thing of beauty. Loved watching you make it.
This hammer is awesome! I would love one with a brass end and a leather end. Awesome work!
This is actually a genius idea, patent it fast bud. You could have different material heads for different applications. One hammer to rule them all!
Hammers with exchangeable heads are actually already a thing! Common alt heads are made of rubber or soft plastic but they usually dont look nearly as cool as this one lol
Hey just discovered your channel, that hammer looks great! Cant believe the quality straight out of the mold!
love the way this turned out!
That's pretty badass. Artistic, but very utilitarian too.
It's absolutely gorgeous
Really nicely done. Super clean casting on the handle and beautiful finish on the heads. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent workmanship! truly a useful work of art!
ABSOLUTELY A MASTERPIECE !
BEAUTIFULLY DONE !!!! 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
BRAVO BROTHER !🇺🇸🎯😎🎯🎯👊👊😎💫
You nailed it! 👍👍👍👍👍
I love this project. Well done. A really beautiful tool.
I love it!
A while back I found a discarded sledge hammer head (I'm guessing it's two kilos) with no handle. I decided to make a handle out of some metal drawer runners put back to back to form a skeleton handle. I wrapped some PET ribbon around the bottom and it turned out better than I had imagined. Still, there is nothing like casting something yourself. Great job!
I love the idea of more "sustainable" tools, a light aluminum body hammer with replaceable heads is really cool! The only thing i cold say is maybe have a counterweight slot in the base? i could see some heads messing with the tool by being too unwieldy due to top weight.
3 things id like to see a Rubber or plastic washer to prevent the aluminum handle getting wear from the hammer blows and 2 other heads specifically rubber and rawhide as it will make the hammer more multipurpose
Beautifully done. A pleasure to watch & learn.
Dude! That's impressive! Good job 👌
Fun to see the new tools getting put to good use :]

All that work and you end up with a piece of art instead of a tool. If I had that hammer I'd never hit anything with it. Good job man.
Such a cool looking piece!! And plus, "Skeleton Hammer" sounds like a band name!! 😁😁
I love the concept, and the execution.
That turned out great. Would love to have something like that in my shop.
Awesome mallet! Great build.
Your videos always are such an enjoyment for me, I go to a happy place lol. You do such great work and everything always turns out sooo good, I'm happy for you and your new mill, can't wait to see what else you think of! The hammer looks so beautiful and the replaceable heads are awesome, you should def make some other heads for it like plastics or maybe a rubber one
Really nice hammer build. Thanks for sharing.
Weekend Stuff
that project was absolutely awesome
That thing is gorgeous.
Really liked ur planning with this project as to how ur gonna clamp it while machining, came out great 👍🏻
I've liked all of your projects. This however is definitely my fave. (Yes, I'm a tool geek) It's gorgeous and practical, which is a great combo. Keep up the good work.
Love the skeleton design on the handle
Great job, and very beautiful design. Like!
Beautiful, would like to see a deadblow version this or similar designed hammer. Or even a removable deadblow head.
That’s truly one of the coolest hammers I’ve ever seen. I think you should try making a hatchet.
Awesome. And double awesome for casting the bits. great work man.
You have a lot of nice equipment and that helps you to produce these items. It is very nice. I have a band saw but no lathe yet. I hope to make mini versions of these items for my diorama sets.
I'd buy that in a heartbeat! It looks so cool!
A little rubber o-ring on your face attachments would help them from coming loose when shocked they do this on a lot of angle grinders now to keep the attachments from coming loose due to vibration
Oh man, that is so cool! And it came out so clean!
Beautiful piece
Nice hammer!
Interesting how the comments give you a glance into the experience of your audience.
As for the threads: Use Heli-coil inserts in the head. Use blue Loctite to keep the faces on.
Hammer uses? Driving nails - haha. A hammer like this is primarily used to position work in vises for machining. Another thing she is for light assembly.
That was pretty cool. You should cast another one and anodize it, and or one with an over-molded rubber grip. It's pretty much already designed to lock a grip in place. Could even be translucent material so you could still see the skeleton design 👍
Beautiful hammer and design! I want one!
I did similar in trade school.. using set screws instead of make threads on the brass will help a lot long term, even if the heads need to be a bit thicker.
awesome process, and a very pretty hammer!
Interesting hammer. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
That’s awesome. Thank you!
